Abstract

Leaving a record of what is about to disappear is an exercise not only for the seekers, a group of women who search the bowels of the earth to find their relative as a result of the forced and systematic disappearance in Mexico whose actions reveal to us that there are places , objects and subjects of the disappearance. This objectification made memory allows us to grasp what escapes, what is not talked about, to make visible and take a position in the face of a situation that affects thousands of families since before the war on drug trafficking was declared. Added to this work are some documentary makers who contribute from the denunciation, from the portrait of reality or from the discursive narrative and who, like paradoxes, respond to a specific time or space, the last 20 years of low intensity war.
